Hey Chris, Thanks for the tip. I am not in the server now( which is having the issue). But I will give it a try at the memtest86+. But the issue is that the server is been loaded with a Volume testing we are doing.
I will try to get some of these info and I will let you know about the results. Thanks again for the help!

What you want to do is run memtest86+ (http://www.memtest.org/). Get yourself the bootable floppy or CD image and let it run for a while. With 8GB of memory, you'll need a lot of time. You might want to drop it down to 1GB (or at least less than 8GB) just to get a preliminary test done. memtest86 stresses your memory and lets you know if everything went well. This involves the CPU, memory, and motherboard. If you have alternate hardware to swap-out some components, you can run tests with each combination to see which one is giving you problems. Don't underestimate the motherboard as the source of your problems. I have had this happen to me and most often than not, the motherboard has been the problem. > What type of hardware issue could be involved? Memory ?? Disk ?? Usually CPU, memory, or mobo. Never the disk. > perhaps an OS patch? Nope. Unless you are using a bleeding-edge kernel, you're okay. Same thing with Java. After a few patch levels, Java is usually pretty reliable. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFbNjX9CaO5/Lv0PARAvNDAKCj2fSecnQ/7ajLz3+6AtJfKvOnaACfVxrW gXfvmJ+wuni9GedKqnSYtQ0= =boZI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
